The liquid cheese you get at Mexican restaurants is amazing.
No mayo? I love mayo
Me too, but mayo’s a condiment rather than a sauce
In my native language there’s no such thing as “condiment”, it’s all sauce. Packaging at the shops even say “Mayo sauce”.
“Mayo sauce”.
Even though my native language doesn’t have a word for condiment either, there’s something deeply unsettling about that term to me for some reason 😬😄
why tf is ranch in this list
Spiciest food a Midwestern can handle
I’d rather eat a bucket of rotten squirrel ass holes than put ranch on anything
Unpopular opinion: Ranch is shit.
Tzatziki!
They already listed cucumber sauce
Yes, please! 🤤
This can’t be a coincidence
Came here to mention tzatziki. With some cucumber sticks on a hot summer day? Absolutely glorious
I apologize for my ignorance. What the hell is that?
Yogurt, cucumber, dill, lemon, garlic. Really nice with grilled meats or roasted veggies
You’re one of today’s lucky 10,000!
Tzatziki is a creamy, tangy Greek yogurt-based sauce or dip made with shredded cucumber, garlic, olive oil, and fresh herbs like dill or mint, often served as a meze (appetizer) with pita bread and vegetables, or as a topping for gyros, souvlaki, and grilled meats or fish. It’s known for being cool, refreshing, and versatile, with a simple preparation that involves mixing strained yogurt with grated, squeezed cucumber, minced garlic, herbs, and a splash of lemon juice or vinegar.

Every day I am part of the lucky 10,000 is a great day. Thank you for the recipe!
Under-represented but absolutely fire is Toum.
Toum is so good. It forever ruined garlic mayo for me.
For anyone who doesn’t know toum is a Lebanese sauce that uses garlic as the emulsifier, rather than eggs. This means that it’s also vegan. Garlic is also a weaker emulsifier than eggs, so it’s insanely garlicky. Any vampire hunters should consider getting Lebanese food before their next hunting trip for this reason
Nut.
Ejaculatory fluid. She declares that it’s not trash. She likes it. It’s fire.
Sauce.
Our local BBQ joint has an alabama white sauce that is like crack. I can’t get enough of it
The fuck is an alabama?
You mean sambal?
You’re not in Virginia, by chance? My all-time favorite place (with caveats) also had an Alabama sauce.
Nope, northern Minnesota. So like not proper southern barbeque, but pretty damn good for the frozen north
One of these things are not like the others.
Yeah, most wouldn’t consider sour cream a sauce 😉
And looking closer ranch is actually a dressing, not a sauce.
When you’re eating Jeezus at holy communion, just don’t ask for mayo.
Do people consider sour cream a sauce?
Yeah, some people even consider ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard sauces.
Language when wielded irresponsibly can be a mysterious and terrible thing.
My son uses ketchup as if it were a sauce …
Ketchup is a sauce.
What else would it be?
A food wig?
Ketchup is called Tomato Sauce in Australia.
Obviously it’s a sauce. I looked up the definition to try and figure out why they would say it isn’t, and I still don’t see it.
“a liquid or semisolid food mixture used especially as a topping or ingredient for adding to or enhancing the flavor of a dish”
There’s a lot more nuance in the definition in a culinary context: https://www.mashed.com/1338901/difference-between-sauce-condiment-dip/
But ignoring that context, yes, ketchup meets the literal definition of a sauce.
What context needs to be ignored? Ketchup is a sauce, which when added to completed food becomes a condiment, just like all sauces. Plenty of dishes are cooked with ketchup in the cooking process. The conclusion from the article you posted:
when it comes to the question of condiment or sauce, the answer is “both”.
It’s a condiment, which is not a sauce.
According to my extensive 30 seconds of research, the difference is that a sauce is an integral ingredient, but a condiment is added after the dish is served. In which case, ketchup can be either or both, even in the same dish.
Its a subsection of sauces. A type of sauce fulfilling a more specific purpose than other sauces.
Careful! You’re heading down a dangerous path!
Good god.
Love different coloured food wigs with my chips
condiment to sauce is a spectrum :)
Milk is a saucy, you just gotta leave it on the counter long enough.
I have one of those meal delivery kit subscriptions where they send you ingredients and recipes each week for you to make their meals. I am surprised at how many different sauces can be made with sour cream. Add a little bit of water, garlic, salt and pepper, - and you’ve got a delicious white sauce that goes on almost anything.
Well yeah, no question there, but by itself it kind of doesn’t count?
Not sure what shitty kind of sour cream yall get over there, but what is known as smetana in Eastern Europe is widely employed as a condiment. You can use it with meat dumplings or meatballs, or potato dumplings, or plain boiled potato or salted fish, you use it in salads, in soups like borscht. You can dip crepes or pancakes into it, or various kinds of pirozhki.
Add lime juice and yes
Anything’s a sauce if you’re brave enough 🎶
Mexican crema yum!
I’m making fish tacos tonight. Must have my homemade crema!
Delish!
